7 years friend, in all states.
It's FTC mandated.
Get a lawyer now, turn yourself in. Providing you have no criminal record, and have the money to pay back who you wronged, you should be fine.
White colar crimes are all about the money, not about the crime. If you have the money, you will be kosher. Trust me. I've been there.

Identity theft is usually coupled with another crime, such as fraud or theft. To figure a statute of limitations of a crime where identity theft is part of the crime, we should know what type of crime you're thinking of.
And it will also depend on your state statutes, whatever state you might live in.
A brief example - using California as a reference - conducting a fraudulent real estate transaction using some else's identifyers (ID theft) will have a statute of limitations of 4 years from the time of discovery or from the time the crime should reasonably have been discovered. Many victims of ID theft and fraud don't know they've been a victim until months or even years later.

Identity Theft is considered a felony federally and in most states. The federal statute of limitations and state statute of limitations vary from state to state. In my state there is no statute of limitations on felony offenses. The criminal code for every state I've looked for can be found on-line. Find yours and check it out.
